Legendary west coast jock Gary Stevens today continued to amaze the racing world by carefully buttering a piece of whole wheat bread.

The spread, which may or may not have actually been margarine, imparted a mouth-watering sheen to the piece of bread. Stevens spread the butter or butter substitute roughly evenly about the face of the grain product, though he admitted "I missed a corner or two."

Then, astounding the six people who are said to care about his comeback, he proceeded to bite into the toothsome slice.

He chewed the bread meditatively. Witnesses speculated that digestion of the carb-laden food item ensued.

United States president Barack Obama could not be reached for comment.

"Stevens is a George Patton kind of athlete. He is truly happy only when he’s at war. His decision to go back to work after a seven-year break should surprise no one who knows him, any more than the vivid imprint of his rides aboard horses like Silver Charm, Point Given, Winning Colors, Gentlemen, Serena’s Song, Rock Hard Ten, War Chant, One Dreamer, Farma Way, Larry the Legend and Bertrando can be erased from the racing mind’s eye."
